Another ground for urging that there had been no promise of marriage might be found in the fact that it was kept secret from Major Yelverton's relations. Shc complained of his cold letters and his unloving nature, which could not have proceeded from a woman who was under promisa of marriage, with whom certainly there would have been some expression of hope and comfort. She complained, too, that Major Yelverton was a vampire who had sucked away from her the blessings of life; which could hardly Je the expression of an expectant wife. In one letter the respondent asked for the bonbon which had been promised to her when she first submitted, but that clearly did not refer to any promise of marriage, but to the intercourse which had long subsisted between them. The Lord Chancellor, referring to one of the letters, said the respondent spoke of the happy days she and Major Yel. verton had spent in the little room, five stories high, in Princes-street, Edinburgh. What did that mean ? Mr Rolt said it might allude to the intercourse which took place between theth. The Lord Chancellor,inquired whether Mrs Gamble, who appeared to be the landlady, knew anything ab, - ,ut it ? Mr Rolt—The landlady might wink at it. Lord Chelmsford—The landlady very fiercely denied any thing of the sort. Mr Rolt replied that all landladies did. Lord Chelmsford—lt was not to be assumed that the matter necessarily came to the landlady's knowledge at all. Mr Rolt—Not necessarily, of course. The learned gen• tleman then proceeded to read voluminous extracts from the correspondence, with a view to support his statement that there never had been any promise of marriage. Mrs Yelverton and her two friends arrived at half-past twelve. They were escorted to the reporters' gallery by one of the ushers of the house. She looked somewhat care- worn, and listened to the arguments which were urged against her with the greatest possible attention, unpleasant as many cf them must necessarily have been. At the far• ther end of the house ladies were admitted with opera glasses with which they endeavoured to stare Mrs Yelver ton out of countenance. She was, however, to a great ex tent protected from this rudeness by the gentlemen who were in front of her who were taking notes of the case. Mr Rolt continued his arguments, and said he should not trouble their lordships with the details of the Scottish mar riage, which would be argued by his learned friend Mr Anderson. Lord Wensleydale—What about the Irish marriage ? - 13 not that raised in issue here ? Mr Rolt—Oh yes, it is. Lord Wensleydale—lf there was a marriage at all, any where, it would be an important element in the inquiry. Mr Rolt said he would endeavour to meet that point. The inquiry was proceeding when our report left. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE T. LEIGH. This was a meeting for last examination and discharge of this gentleman, described as of Brompton, barrister-at law, Ha is also one of the police magistrates at Worship- e►treet. Mr H. Linklater said that an adjournment would be ne. cessary, as no accounts had yet been filed, and an adjourn. ment was taken for two mouths by consent. IN RE ROBINS AND PRIEST. These bankrupts were auctioneers in St. Martin's-lane, and the application for orders of discharge was strongly opposed and fully reported from time to time as the case proceeded. His Honour now gave judgment, but did not enter into any details. He said that the case had been before the Court a very long time, and had been argued at very great length. He thought there was a great distinction in the two cases, and the order of discharge of Priest would be suspended for eight months, and that of Robins for two months, but protection would be granted. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) Henry TiTcodison, a coachman„ surrendered to an indict ment charging him with manslaughter. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The Learned Judge said, under the peculiar circumstances of the case he should only sentence him to a week's im prisonment. The trial of Robert Boyle Miller, a captain in the mer chant service, who stands indicted for embezzling the sum of £4,000, the property of his employers, Messrs. Ryland and Co., Liverpool, shipowners, was postponed until next sessions, NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Joseph Harris, 34, trimming weaver, and Jarvis Sharp, were indicted for burglariomly breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Henry Webb, and stealing therefrom a quantity of wearing apparel. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The Common Sergeant, in sentencing the prisoners, commented strongly on the conduct of each, and ordered Herrin to 9 months' and Snarp to 18 months' imprisonment, with herd labour, THIRD COURT. THE ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER IN THE NEW-CUT. Sarah Weston, 32, widow, was indicted for the man. slaughter of Stephen Weston, It will be recollected that the prisoner and the deceased resided in Johanna-street, New-cut, and led a cat and dog sort of life in consequence of the intemperance of the pri soner. Frequent quarrels took place between them, and cn Sunday morning, the 15th ult., it was alleged by one of the witnesses that the prisoner had a quarrel with her hus band, and after pulling him out of bed she knocked his head several times against the floor, and on the arrival of the surgeon life was extinct. One of the daughters of the prisoner, who was in the room when the circumstance oc curred, said her mother did not strike her father's head on the ground at all. She only endeavoured to pick him up and put him into bed, as he had been noisy and out of his mind all day. The surgecn who had made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased, said he found many superficial bruises, but they were not sufficient to affect vitally, and that a person struggling violently in delirium tremens might, if forcibly held down, sink back and die from exhaustion. There were marks of severe injuries on his head, as if from some blunt instrument. Tho two seen by the witness Samuels, however, would not, in his opinion, have been sufficient to cause death. The jury retarncd a verdict of Not Guilty. Thiscon(quded the business of the session. ENGLISH TRAVELLERS IN PRUSSIA.—The Police President of Aix la-Chapelle has issued a solemn protest against the statement made by an English journal that English travellers are insulted in journeying through Pa ussia. A. German paper alleges that the assertion& have been published by the English innkeepers with a view to prevent intending travellers from proceeding abroad, • HOUSE OF LORDS. YELVEI,TON V. LONGIVORTR (OR YELVERTON). Present —T.t. e Lord C bane ellor, Lard Brougham, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Kingsdown, and Lord Wensleydale. This moraine this case was proceeded with. Mr. holt, Q.C., for the appEllant (Major Yelverton) con tinued his address, reading lengthened extracts from the reap ndent's letters. She described herself as like the woman in the Gospel, "troubled about many things." She had doubts about her health, doubts about herself, doubts about the continuance of her intimacy with Major Yelver ton. She added, "Oh, for the blessed days of happiness when I hoped we should be one," and said she feared that having lost the treasure of to-dry she might lose the blessedness of He hereafter. In all these letters, the learned counsel argued, there was nothing pointing to a public marriage, nothing pointing to a marriage at all--negativing, indeed, the whole idea of marriage. Referring to Major Yelverton's own letters, he contended that there were only two which could by any possible construction imply a promise of marriage ; while, after he was married to another lady (Nirs. Forbes, who was present in one of the side gal leries), the respondent wrote to him to congratulate him on the fact, and asking for a place in his prayers. That also, he contended, was a conclusive proof that marriage was never thought of. There was no proof whatever of a promise of marriage. With regard to certain cards, bearing the words, " Mr. and Mrs. Yelverton," said to be acknowledged in writing by the ap pellant, the learned counsel submitted that the letter was written in Ireland and received in England, so that it had nothing to do with the alleged contract of marriage in Scotland. In one of her letters the respondent stated that whatever might occur they would remain man and wife, showing the doubtful position in which they were placed. The Lord Chancellor thought the words were " man and woman still," which would bear a different interpretation, Mr Rolt said such was the case. The Lord Chancellor referred to words in one of the appellant's lettere, in which he stated that he understood he was released from a promise he made, and wished to know what was meant by those words ? POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MAR LBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—James M'Carthy and William Byrne, two costermongers, were charged before Mr Knox with violently assaulting William Lake, a general dealer, living in Fitzroy-place, Tottenham-court-road. The complainant, the upper part of his face being covered with adhesive plaster, said about 12 o'clock last night he went into the Bull's Head public-house, Tottenham-court road, when the prisoners came in, and Byrne seized him by the neckerchief and pulled him down, and M'Carthy cut him on the temples with a knife. The prisoners said no knife was used. Complainant said he saw a knife in the band of M'Carthy, and that M'Carthy struck him with it on both temples, and while he was on the ground kicked him. In answer to M'Carthy, the complainant said he could not state what sort of knife it was, as he was stunned. and was lying on the ground senseless when the constable came up. [The complainant showed an apron he was wear. ing at the time, and it was saturated with blood.] Mr Rowe, landlord of the Bull's Head, Tottenham -court road, said that a woman came into his house about 11 o'clock and struck a man, and the man resented it. The complain ant and the man (named Jacobs) were subsequently sitting together, when M'Carthy came in, and with an oath too fearful to mention said, h av i ng a clasp knife in his hand, " I'll put this knife int o y our belly, " We put M'Carth) out, and afterwards Byrne, but the latter came in again him down, and while b o th the complainant and Byrne and seized the c mplainant by the neckerchief and pull e d , were on the ground M'Carthy jumped on the complainant's head. Sergeant Mason, 5 S, who was at the Bull's Head making inquiries in plain clothes, proved seeing M'Carthy kick the complainant on his temples and jump on his head. Hurst, 108 E, also saw M'Carthy kick the complainant savagely on the head. In answer to Mr Knox both Sergeant Mason and the M'Carthy said he used no k n i fe —he would admit kicking the constable eompla s i t n a a ted tha t they saw n o k nife used. complainant. Mr Knox said M'Carthy might consider himself fortunate that he was not standing at the bar of the Old Bailey, as he might have killed the complainant. He should remand the prisoner for the attendance of the medical witness. On the prisoners being removed f rom the dock, a woman at the back of the court exclaimed, "11 1 r Jacobs shall have something for this, if I swing for it." THAMES. STABBlNG.—Catherine Sheen, a young woman, was charged before Mr Partridge with cutting and wounding Mary Ann Crawley. The complainant, whose left arm was bandaged, said she was dwelling at 4, Bluegate-fields, S hadwell. Yesterday e seated near her own door evening she was with the prisoner and another young woman. The prisoner left them in the C ommercial -road, I a a f n t d erw o ad n r p s ar t t hey parting s s a a w id, "Polly , prisor thel am going home." Soon on the kerbstone, Kinder-street, St. George-ia-the-East. entered into a and said, " I q T n h a e r r s p l r i w s t n h e r, her,w i e t a h 1 0 l u e d t h a e n r y v e p r r y o v b o a c d a t i n o a n m e s do not care for your bullies or fancy men." She replied that she had no bullies or fancy men. The prisoner directly raised a knife sit:, carried in her band and stabbed her twice with it. The prisoner raised her hand to stab her a third time, and a young woman who was standing by prevented her. The same young woman called for a police constable, who took the prisoner into custody. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the witness said that she was servant in a bad house, but not bad herself. (A laugh.) The prisoner was a girl of the town. She had been drinking with the prisoner. Catherine Matthews, the wife of a brushmaker, stated that she was with Sheen and Crawley, Th e prisoner first o ac tii cu e: ed rep C i r i a ed w p ley ,, I wi d th id not not psicekeinygouhefraiul.p,,; to which th e The women then called each other liars, and the prison er s t a bb e d at Crawley with a knife she was using in cutting up food. The women caught hold of each other's hair. Witness endeavoured to separate them, and was cut o n th e h an d b y the prisoner. A row ensued, the prisoner went in doors, and the mob that collected in the street broke the prisoner's windows. Mr Robert Hughes, house-surgeon in the London Hos pital, said the prosecutrix was brought there last night. There were two incised wounds on the left arm, caused by a knife being drawn across it. Mr Partridge said the quarrel between the two women was a very petty one and very disgraceful. He committed the prisoner for trial. Extraordinary Scene in the Tyrol, A remarkable event has lately happened in the Tyrol. About the end of last month a man was sentenced to death, to pay the costs of the trial, and ail damages demanded, for assassinating one gend arme, trying to assassinate another, killing two men, resorting to violence against the guard in the exe cution of their duty, and wounding another man The culprit, a man named Gasser, had threatened to kill his wife; she heard of it, and took refuge in a neighbour's bouse,whereupon Gasser shct the neigh bour's dog. The neighbour complained to the police and two gendarmes were sent to arrest Gasser, but when he got to his door he fired upon them. One fell dead, and the other was severely wounded. On this, gendarmes and guards from another place were called up. Gasser had barricaded himself in his house, had three guns, and fired on everyone who came near. The corpse of the dead gendarme was stilt before the door, and a relation of Gasser, trying to take it away, was shot d ead. The excitement was now intense. Some o f t h e besiegers posted themselves in the house opposite, fired away at Gasser's house, and received his fire in return, losing one dead and hiving another wounded. In the course of the day a hundred shot s were fired against Gasser's house, and at night he was still in possession. The weather was bitterly cold, all his windows were broken, and during the night he took refug e in the cowhouse. Next morning two cannon were brought up and some tan cannon shots fired 0 the house. At last, as all seemed qui e t, a body of men stormed the house, and found G asser lying exhausted, or rather crouching down, on the floor. H e h a d opene d the veins at his wrists and lost some blood; but the state of the house, with the windows broken, and stains of blood on the Thor, baffled all descripti on . The account of the man himself is that he was between 30 and 40, married a second time, father of two children, passionate drinker of braudy, a bad character , btawliog, a passionate sport sman. The scene is at Lauteraoh o b f e t t e w n e e b n r o n u grehgtp before a justice f or , e '4 a n d Feldkirch. SIIIPPIXG INTELLI GENCi—Thia Day.

The attendance was very numerous, and the appearance of six thousand children, supported by the parishes of the metropolis, was peculiarly gratifying. The effect of the singing, by these six thou sand young voices, of the Old Hundnth Psalm, of the Coronation Anthem, and of Handers divine Hallelujah Chorus, was sublime beyond description. LTG, JUNE 9, 1864. SPORTING NOTES. By a singular overlook on the part of your turf reporter, the following very important race, decided at Ascot on Tuesday, was omitted from your columns yesterday : Third Year of the Tenth Ascot Triennial Stakes of 10 sous each, with 100 add6d, for 4-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 21b; penalties and allowances, Once round and in, starting opposite the Grand Stand. 31 subs.

(Wells) 3 Early Purl and Columba also ran. Betting -5 to 4 agst King of the Vale, 7to 4 agst Blue Mantle, 4 to 1 agst the Ranger. King of the Vale jumped off in front, but was quickly passed by the Ranger, who took a clear lead after rounding the top turn, King of the Vale going on second, Columba third, Blue Mantle fourth, Early Purl lying off until half• way through the Swinley bottom, where Blue Mantle ran into second place, and shortly afterwards joining the Ranger, the pace, which had only been moderate for tho previous half mile, was slightly improved. Approaching the Brick kilns Blue Mantle dropped back again, and Early Purl began to draw up to the leading horses. At the distance. !he Ranger was headed by Blue Mantle and King of the Vale, but Mr. Savile's horse, coming out again opposite the inclosure, won a good race by three parts of a length ; a neck separated the second and third, Early Purl was a had fourth, and Columba last. The unfortunate accident at Egham, on Tuesday had a marked effect on the number of visitors yes. terday, The Prince of Wales did not honour the meeting with his presence. The Royal Hunt Cup, if the objection against Gem of the Sea had been Sustained, would have been a rare turn-up for the bookmakers, as scarcely any of them wrote Crisis' name. The only race of any importance to-morrow is the Alexandra Plate, named in honour of the Princess of Wales. After the running of Crisis i❑ the Royal Hunt Cup it would be folly to look further for the winner, as neatly all the same horses it ((a engaged. Evelina and Lady Ciifden may fight it out for places. A FRESH MAN. Great Northern Efospital, The eighth anniversary dinner of this useful institution was held last night at the Albion, Alderagate-street, Sir Lawrence Palk, Bart„ M.P., in the chair. The Chairman having proposed " Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," " Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales," " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," responded to by the Rev. Canon Dale, and " The Army, Na vy, and Volunteers," called attention to the re port, of which the following is an abstract : " The Great Northern Hospital has been established in the new premises in the Caledonian -road. Donations have been received during the present year as follows :—A legacy of £3OO has been be queathed to the hospital by the will of the late George Wheelhouse, Esq. It will be remembered that the hospital had its origin iu a dispensary, established by the late Mr Statham in the neighbourhood of King a cross. Converted into an hospital, much needed by the constantly increasing northern districts, it now forma the nucleus of a great metropolitan charity. It has a large and efficient medical surgical staff. The arrangement 1)) which the North London Deaconesses' Institution under took the nursing of the hospital has fully answered the expectations formed of it. Only increased funds are now wanting to make the hospital fully available for the relief of the northern districts. The receipts for the eleven months ending 31st May, 1864, amounted to £1,297 12s 7d, the payments to £1,291 8s 7d. The number of out-patients relieved during the same period is 44,396. To effect the most important and pressing objects, it is calculated that about £4,000 will be sufficient—viz., out patients' department, including waiting-rooms, consulting rooms, and dispensary about £7OO. To render the present building thoroughly efficient, about £350. To build new wards about £2,000. For purchase of the present interest in the hospital buildings, furniture of new wards, and in cidental expenses about £1,000." The CiLainm.ix then proposed, " Prosperity to the Great Northern Hospital." He [pointed out that it was situated in a densely populated neighbourhood, where dis ease was more common than in more open districts where people had all the advantages of ventilation, and possessed a better knowledge than their poorer brethren of the means of preventing disease or stopping it on its appearance. The :hospital had done much; it was pushing on to do more, and whilst he did not admit it was desirable that a hospital should be allowed to get into a state of indebted ness, still where there was a pressure of misery the com mittee were justified in stepping forward to relieve it, in the confident belief that the public would support them. The toast was drunk with three times three. The Healths of the Medical Staff, the Committee of Management, the Chairman, and the Stewards, followed. The music performed during the evening was under the direction of Mr D. W. King, and was sung by Miss Poole (who never sang better than on this occasion, and was loudly cheered), the Misses King, Miss Jane Wells, Mr D. King, and Mr Lawler. Subscriptions were announced to the amount of £OOO. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

IMPERIAL FABLIAME HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening, The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. REMUNERATION OF ATTORNEYS. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a bill to amend the law with respect to the remuneration of solicitors and attorneys. He would explain very fully the particulars of the bili in making the motion for the second reading. THE DANO-GERMAN WAR. In reply to the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. Earl RUSSELL was understood to say that it had been proposed to prolong the armistice for a fortnight. The Danes first agreed to the proposal, and afterwards the Ger man powers consented. This was decided on at the sitting of the Conference that day. CHIMNEY SWEEPERS REGULATION BILL. The report of amendments to this bill was brought up and received. COURTS OF JUSTICIARY (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read ing of this bill, which was to give the Queen, in Council, power over the circuits in Scotland. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM the bill was read a second time. AMERICA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty for copies of extracts from any dispatch from her Majesty's Minister at Washington relating to the proceedints or report of the select committee of the United States Congress on immigration, or t o bill s upon the subject brought into Congress ; and also for copies of extracts . from despatches or re p or t s re , pe - t i ng t h e en li stment of Irish immigrants at Boston and Portland in the month of March last, or to the enlistment of any of her Majesty's Canadian subjects in the United States army. The noble lord dwelt at great length on the false representations to labouring men in Ireland by parties whose sole object in that country was to induce men under any circumstances to go into the Ame rican army. He said the last accounts showed how fearful was the sacrifice of human life in the United States, as the losses of one of the armies had been put down at no less than forty thousand men. He thought it was the duty of the country to do all in its power to prevent the subjects of her Majesty from taking any part in such a horrible state of things as existed in that country, (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock, COLLECTION OF TAXES. Sir H.WILLOUGHBY gave notice that when this sub ject came before the house he should move that it is not expedient that the land and income tax should be collected by the officers of the Inland Revenue. THE " RESEARCH." In answer to Sir J. HAY, Lord C. PAGET said the reports which had been re ceived in reterance to the Research were confidential. If, however, there were any portions of the correspondence which were required he should have no objection to give them. :THE ACCIDENT AT EGHAM. Sir R. CLIFTON asked the Secretary of the Home De partment whether it is the intention of her Majesty's Go vernment to appoint some properly qualified person to attend the inquest in this case. Sir G. GREY said a person had been appointed to attend the inquest and to repert. LAGOS. Mr MILLS asked a question with respect to the present disastrous condition of Lagos. Mr CARD W ELL said arrangements were in progress on the part of the Governor who had discharged his duties with efficiency. There was no intention to recall the Go vernor. THE ARMISTICE. In answer to Mr D. GRIFFITH, _ _ _ Lord PALMERSTON said that at the meeting of the Conference to-day the armistice had been prolonged for a fortnight. (Hear, hear.) THE PENSION OF THE COUNTESS OF ELGIN. The house went into committee. Lord PALMERSTON said there was no occasion on which the house had a more grateful duty to perform than to acknowledge the services of those who had sacrificed their time and probably their lives to the service of their country. Having narrated the services of Lord Elgin, the noble lord proposed that a pension of £l,OOO a year should be granted to the Countess of Elgin, adding that the East Indian Department have granted her a sum of equal amount. Lord STANLEY, in seconding the motion, expressed the entire and cordial concurrence of the Conservative side of the house is the estimate which Lord Palmerston had made of Lord Elgin's services. In answer to Sir W. WILLOUGHY, Sir C. WOOD said the £l,OOO a-year to be granted by the Indian Department would not require confirmation from the House of Commons. The vote was then agreed to.

This afternoon the Coroner for Surrey commenced his inquiry into the circumstances attending the deaths of John Cuppard, Edwin Hill, Mr. Wilkie, Joseph Clegg, and William Winfield, at the Rail way Inn, Egham. The authorities of the South. Western Railway were in attendance, an d waiting for every person in th eir em p lo y who c ould give information relat ive to the circum stances attending the terrible cal amit y were i n examination, the director s bein g anxious that the most searching investigation should take plac e . Owing to the latene ss of the tim e for the: commen ce : ment of the proceedings, and the interruption of the ordinary trains to Egham by the specials to th e Ascot race meeting, the only evidence taken up to the time of despatching our parcel was that of iden tification, of the bodies. The inquiry will, of course, be adjourned. HORRIBLE MITR: OER, Inspector Richer4ion, of the N division, was early on the spot, and he took Buckwell into custody. From what he could ascertain it would appear that Buckwell had gone to bed, and that after he had been in bed some time he got up and hid himself on the stairs before he p erpetrated the deed. At the station he said, " I did do it. I loved the girl, and that's the reason I did it." He exhibited great m in a d t iff te e r. rence, and did not seem to care anyth ing about the EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER, THIS DAY , This morning, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, before Mr D'Eyncourt, Frederick Charles Bucknell, aged 23, who was described on the charge eheetas an under waiter, was charged with causing the death of Jane Terry by stabftng her in the heart with a butcher's knife. The prisoner ap pears younger than he is described, and his appearance is rather of a mild character. His eyes had a peculiar stare about them, and he seemed to feel his position very acutely. Inspector Richardson, N division, was in attendance to watch the case on behalf of the Commissioners of Police. Henry Keeble was the first witness called. He stated that he managed the business of his uncle, Mr Keable; at the Lion public-house, New Cattle Market. The prisoner was under waiter there, and had been employed there for two years. Last night, about a quarter-past 11, he heard screams on the staircase, and on going up stairs he met the prisoner coming down. He had a knife in his hand, and said, "I have done it, Master Henry; I have killed her," He took the knife from him, and said, " You scoundrel, come down stairs." The prisoner went down stairs, and he then gave him into the custody of a gentleman in the bar. The knife, which was about eighteen inches long, and very sharp, was covered with blood. That knife was used in the kitchen. The prisoner and the deceased, as far as he knew, had been on very good terms together. Mr D'Eyncourt—Had there been an attachment between the deceased and the prisoner? Witness—There had been. That was about seven months ago. The prisoner said in a firm tone that he did not wish to ask the witness any question. William Gardener, the head waiter, said he knew the prisoner and the deceased as servants in the employ of Mr Keeble. Last night he was in front of the bar sweeping, when he heard a loud and long scream, coming from the top of the house. Seeing the previous witness going up stairs he followed and saw Mr Keeble having hold of the prisoner. He rushed past, and before reaching the next landing he saw the deceased fall. She was bleeding very much from a wound in the left breast. He could see the wound. Mr D'Eyncourt—Did she live long? Witness—No; he believed that she was dead when he picked her up. She did not speak or groan. The only sign of life she gave was an endeavour to draw her breath, but this she failed in. Mr D'Eyncourt—Have you observed that the prisoner was paying his addresses to the deceased ? Witness—No. I thought there was nothing more than joking between them. Mr D'Eyncourt—Have you seen anything about the pri soner that would have led you to suppose that he intended anything of this sort ? Witness—No. He had seen a young man come to the house, whom he understood was paying his addresses to the young woman. Mr George Tate, member of the Royal College of Sur geons, said he was called to examine the deceased. He found her deluged in blood. On feeling her pulse and exa. mining her be found her quite dead. She was still warm. He was told she had been stabbed, and on examining her he found an incised wound on the upper part of the left breast. The orifice was about an inch and a half or two inches in depth. He put his finger into the wound and found that the knife had passed through the left lung into the back of the heart. He could feel the heart. (Sensation.) Ile could feel the heart with his finger. He pushed his fiager in as far as he could. He had no doubt the wound, was immediately fatal, Mr D'Eyncourt—Could the wound have been inflicted with such a knife as that produced ? Witness—Yes; it is just such a knife as would inflict such a wound. Mr D'Eyncourt—Would it require much force to inflict such a wound ? Witness—Yes, it would require considerable force: Mr D'Eyncourt asked if the deceased was a robust young woman ? Witness—Yes, and she was a very fine young woman, and full of flesh. Charles Hill, the boots, gave confirmatory evidence, and said that he left the prisoner in his bedroom about 20 minutes before this occurred. He then bade him good night, and the prisoner said, " Oh, I might come down again," A few minutes afterwards he saw the prisoner with a knife in his hand, and he said he had done it. Last Sunday fortnight the deceased came home with her cousin, and the prisoner then said " that is the man (meaning the cousin) that has broken my peace of mind." The deceased and the prisoner had been very partial to one another, but not so much of late. He did not think that the prisoner contemplated anything of this sort. The deceased wished him " Good night" two or three minutes before he heard the scream. He had heard the prisoner say that he was very fond of the deceased, and that he would have her and no one else. Police-constable George Norris, 220 N, said that about half-past 11 last night he was called into the Lion Tavern, and the prisoner, who was in front of the bar, was given into my custody on a charge of stabbing his fellow-servant. H e told him the charge, and he said, " I will tell you all about it." He told him it was his duty to caution him against making any statement. He was not obliged to say anything, but what he did say might be heard in evi dence against him. He said, " She is the only girl that ever I liked ; and poor girl she has got it, and I h ope she will die." A gentleman came into the room and said "She is dead." The prisoner remarked, " I would rather that she is dead than that any one else should have her." After that he (witness) went up stairs with inspeca tor Richardson, and on the second staircase found a brooch which m r covered D wls ynco ur t_ with the blood irisoner say anything about the knife ? Witness—No. Mr D'Eyncourt—Was there any blood on the prisoner's hands or clothes ? Witness—l did not observe any. The prisoner did not seem much excited. Inspector Thomas Richardson, of the N division, said that last night he went to the Lion publichouse. He re.. ceived from Mr Keeble the knife produced. The knife was covered with blood. On his reading the charge °Ter to the prisoner he said, " I did do it. I loved the girl, and that was the reason why I did it." He (witness) wrote these words down at the time. In the prisoner's box be found a anpodar had beenaitofth ly preserved.eedaerceefasuled.The portrait was in a fancy case, Mr deceased D'Eyncourt had g iasked the if prisonerany of h thee likeness.itnes s e s kn ew that r the All the witnesses answered in the negative. indifference, was then remanded. The prisoner, who treated the matter with the greatest Mr D'Eyncourt inquired if the friends of the deceas e d had been communicated with. Mr John Richardson said the friends of the deceased re sided at Derehem, in Norfolk, and he wo uld communicate with them. The prisoner has a father but no mother. The h prisoner asked that his aun t, Mrs Bi shop, of 11, Lion square,Whitecapel m ight be communi ca t e d with.

A child of about 3 years of age was amusing itself by the side of one of the mil lades and fell into it. The helpless creature was carried 100 yard s a l ong with the current, 80 yards of that distance being un d er a continuous arch b e l ow th e m ill s, t h e turnpike road, an d a d we lli ng- h ouse k no wn by the n ame o f the " Ark." The water was about 3 feet deep, the arch very little ab ove it s sur f ace , an d the darkness, of course, complete. When the child came out at the end it was seen, and when about 20 yards farther down the race was taken up by a boy. It was no worse, and was quickly re. stored to its parents.—.Elgin Courant.

The mur derer was an under waiter, of the nam 9 of Charles Buck well, and it appeared that he was despwately in love with this young woman. The murdered woman was heard to scream, and on the ne phew of the landlord going up stairs he found Buckwell or, the third landing with a long knife in his hand, Buck well exclaimed that he had killed the deceased, on which he Was seized and detained in custody.
